Error while try to migrate website from V7.15.7 to V8.1
Hi,
I try to migrate my website from V7.15.7 to V8.1
I downloaded V8.1, unzipped, then copied the /bin and /Umbraco folders to my hosting using ftp
When I go to mywebsite/umbraco to start the wizard I got the following error:
Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.AspNet.SignalR.Core' or one of its dependencies. The located assembly's manifest definition does not match the assembly reference. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80131040)
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

So I also copied the web.config (and made sure to put my connection string , as well update:
Description: An error occurred during the parsing of a resource required to service this request. Please review the following specific parse error details and modify your source file appropriately.
Parser Error Message: Could not load type 'Umbraco.Core.UmbracoApplicationBase' from assembly 'Umbraco.Core, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'.
Source Error:

What do I do wrong?
How can I migrate from V7 to V8?
I was followed the documentations but still getting the error.
The easiest solution is to create a new project based on v8 (latest) and change connnectionstring to the old v7 database. Do this locally and not online.
our approach for migrating is:
1. copy connection string from v7
2. create new project (visual studio) and install umbraco v8
3. set connection string to v7
4. migrate by running in IIS Express
Hi, thanks.
I tried to use VS, didn't really work. Also, how do you deploy after install locally? I didn't set a CI/CD process, and I'm not using gitlab or any runner. it's my personal website that I develop and run by myself. So I rather do it through the regular process with the ftp
Here's my question: I didn't understand - when migrating from 7.x to 8.x - can I just do the regular update of copy /bin and /umbraco or I must spin up a new fresh empty 8.x website, then recreate the views?? it's little confusing.
Is it an issue with .NET Framework version - I remember similar issue being reported when people first started using V8 a while back, aha, there is a forum post here

Then go further to v9, 10 or 11.

I, personally, spin up a brand new instance of v8 and then I copy over views, css, scripts etc to the new site. Which has worked many times for me.
However, I am having the same problem that you are having now - with the same error when I try to load up the site.
Could not load type 'Umbraco.Core.UmbracoApplicationBase' from assembly 'Umbraco.Core, Version=8.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=null'.
Has anyone seen this or can help after a v 7.15.7 upgrade to 8.18.7 ?
I'm having the exact same error updating to 8.18.6. Did you manage to solve this?
Hi Angel
Is it an issue with .NET Framework version - I remember similar issue being reported when people first started using V8 a while back, aha, there is a forum post here

and

So this might be what is also troubling yourself ?
